Oh go on I'll join in.
I've got to go to work now but will update my sig later.0 -
Right, dezzie, you can count me in too please:eek:
I'll be going for the full £1000 as in my book it's better to attempt something big and fall short than aim too low and then sit back after achieving it without trying to do that extra bit IYKWIM. Even the hoped-for £1000 won't make much of a dent in my debt mountain
I'll be doing it mainly by selling stuff:- Car boot sales each weekend (weather and enough stuff to sell permitting)
- eBay(tho' not this week as it's cheap listing day tomorrow and everyone will be putting stuff up for sale and flooding the market:rolleyes:)
- GreenMetropolis for books
- Amazon for CDs, DVDs and better books
- Quidco
- Matched betting(if I can finally get to understand it:o)
- Savings jar (£2 and 5p coins if I ever get any:rotfl: )
If I think of any other money-makers I'll add to my list.
Will update my totals etc every Monday.
Good Luck everyone :beer: and thanks again to dezzie for a great challenge.:A

Also yesterday upped my quidco.
I ordered 3 for a pound taste italia mag, and got credited 4.80. I orderere free copies of the week mag from dennis publishing thats 4.00. I also did the 3x consumer lifestyles questionaires/ comps thgey are validated already at 70p each. any other quidco tips i see Ill pass them on here
Yesterday then to add to todays total, is 10.90 TOTAL (sig updated) 14.18 :T :T:beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
This Ive come to know...
So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:0 -

Lynz,
I just tried to sign up for this offer but it said I'd already registered and could only be offered an account if I pay as I am not entitled to a free trial. Then I noticed their sister site is LoveFilm which I've already signed up with (through quidco). So I presume it would work the other way round too??
Thanks for all the other tips thou, I shall stick my 6 issues of that free mag in the loo for dh to read :rotfl:
Thanks again, all the tips are really appreciated!!
Oh, also just had a result...my boss wanted me to do our viking stationary order and I searched viking through quidco and it was there, 7% no less!!! wooohoooo!!
EDIT Screen select and LoveFilm are the same company too so I've just discovered. I think the best thing if you're only doing the film rental thing for the quidco money back and not bothered about the company, just go with the best cashback!!DFW Nerd no. 496 - Proud to be dealing with my debts!!0
